What are your 'top ten' enduring memories of Rio 2016.

LordSutch

Your Top ten memories, or your top ten athletes/medals etc.

I'll kick off with my top ten. . . .

1/ Bolt winning the 100m.
2/ Bolt winning the 200m.
3/ Annalise Murphy sailing into silver.
4/ Trott in the Velodrome.
5/ Kenny in the Velodrome.
6/ Max Whitlock - gymnastics.
7/ The Brownlee brothers...
8/ The ladies beach volleyball
9/ Ashton Eaton - Decathlon.
10/ Adam peaty - breaststroke.

Hard to whittle down the memories to just ten, so many more from Rio . . . . .

Thomas Barr came close, Katie Taylor too . . . .

The tennis was quite good, great to see Del Potro doing well and the golf was also a success. The gymnastics is always very entertaining but there is so much ****e at the Olympics which makes a poor spectacle such as rowing and the velodrome cycling crap.

Apart from two silver medals and Barr's performance at the hurdles it's been a dreadful Olympics for Ireland, the boxing was a disaster not to mention the scandal of alleged ticket touting .

Too many to whittle it down to ten.

Your Face

I couldn't pick that many.

Empty seats, and sex on the beach.

False robberies and podium snobbery,
that French lad getting booed was very rude.

Once a racewaker had to defecate
but thankfully over on the other channel
was beach volleyball with ladies
as sweet as coconut desiccate.

The Brits did very well
think they came second
who’d ever of reckoned?

I’d still rather have Chicken tikka
than a bite from that ‘aul Zika.

Moo Moo Land

The diving, all of the diving - love it.
Fiji sevens hammering GB
O'Donovan brothers
Murphy sailing

Burial.

Nah you're grand.

1. O'Donovan Brothers
2. Ryan Lochte firstly with his Joker hair and then his made up story along with the other three US swimmers.
3. Mark Cavendish cycling into another cyclist and not getting disqualified. Crazy. Then threatening to sue a Dutch journalist.
4. Steve Redgrave and the BBC journalist constantly bickering.
5. Brady Ellison finally getting an individual Olympic medal- Leo Di Caprio lookalike.
6. Michael Conlon and his post match interview. AIBA sending home referees and judges then.
7. Annalise Murphy.
8. Thomas Barr going so close.
9. Scott Evans taking off his shirt each time he won and celebrating madly.
10. The Brazilians booing the French pole vaulter and being so unsportsman like.

Yes, I watched it live on RTE app on my iPhone

O Donovan brothers giving interviews like they were fans on the way to croke park

Their silver medal and silver for Annalise

Boxing controversy for Ireland.

Pat Hickey

Nagging doubt every time someone did something exceptional that they are not clean. Sad but that's the legacy the dopers have left.

Brazilian synchronised divers having a row, one of them kicked the other girl out of room so she could have sex with a canoeist. She actually had best arse I have seen

Bolt being an absolute legend

Ethiopian breaking all kinds of 5000 records inadvertently during a 10000 race. Same athlete not being very good when it actually came to running the 5000

Fiji Rugby 7s final annihilation of GB. Awesome performance.

Ireland having as many scandals as medals.

GB actually being very good at everything great legacy from their hosting 4 years ago.

Thomas Barr. Everything about him. Class guy and athlete.

Too many to mention, that's just a few. I could start this list again. And again. And still have no problem thinking of great moments. But last but definitely not least......

The realisation that in order to look at the finest, sexiest, beautiful women in the world forget tv and movies. Forget models. Forget all you know, just watch the Olympics. Absolute stunning specimens for the men to look at while being role models for the kids to look up to at the same time

Fell in love I don't know how many times.

Analise in the sailing

1. Don't recognise most of the names in the OP.

4. I'm not British.

Incredible achievement

He's allowed to pick whatever he wants, it doesn't have to conform to your ideal list of Irishmen (which he didn't mention was necessary).

Sir Osis of Liver.

This made it for me.
She had one job to do.

Number 4) What’s really behind this is:- starts with ‘P’ and rhymes with rovo and still enthusiastically defends innocent people’s remains being scraped up off the road with shovels (in the recent past).

Great fellas altogether. Good job the charter protects them from what they really deserve

Thomas Barr (taking nothing away from the sailors & rowers) is total world class
47.97 seconds….Wow
